Product Description
CD Description
The Colours of Christmas is a collection of the greatest Christmas carols by the composer/conductor whose music has, for many, been so associated with Christmas. Featuring the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and The Bach Choir, with guest artists Over the Bridge and conducted by Rutter himself.
The Colours of Christmas (track 2 from the album) is a newly composed carol by Rutter for this new album, and is testament to the very best of Rutter’s music. Newly orchestrated for this album are the carols Ding Dong Merrily On High and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. All recordings on this album are brand new.

John Rutter's arrangements are always beautiful, and this CD doesn't disappoint, with some unusual rhythmic variations on the carols we all think we know! His new carol, The Colours of Christmas, is just as beautiful, and performed superbly by the Bach Choir. I already know that this will be the soundtrack to my Christmas this year, and every year to come.

You won't be disappointed in this excellent new offering from John Rutter. A beautiful new carol is included on the recording along with other great favourites arranged or composed by the conducter. Even though many of these carols are featured on pervious recordings made by the Cambridge Singers, the Bach Choir do not disappoint in their renditions. What an added bonus to feature the vocal ensemble 'Over the Bridge' a group who I had not heard of before, but who remind me very much of the Kings Singers!

This is a fine album, of its type. Nick is being a bit hard on it with his three star review. I defer to him on record company politics, but must correct his unresearched comments about Over the Bridge. They are an eight man close harmony A Capella group and not remotely "sub King Singers". Go and see them live sometime if you don't believe me.
Their first album "Under the Influence" was produced by John Rutter. Presumably that's why they are on this album, heard here with backing for pretty much the first time. Their album doesn't seem to be on Amazon (get your act together, Amazon) but is downloadable from a well known music store.
I agree about the saccherine arrangement of "Have yourself a very Merry Christmas", but bet that that is what we hear on their upcoming Christmas BBC TV appearances, things being what they are.
